OHHH Chuck. Such a fertile mind. Pretty good though, I mean it really looks plausible and quite handsome. The steel wheels give it True Grit.

These are snap photos of a plastic model? That's it? Just wow.

Boy, that's looking lovely. Add a Petty Charger and they'd make great book ends.

Good Lord people. Airbrushes, putties, dental tools? I built several respectable models at the beginning of my journey with a #11 exacto blade, sandpaper, a tube of Testors glue, clothes pins, toothpicks, one paintbrush and flat black and silver paints. Besides a couple spray paints of choice, that's all you need to complete a fine first model. Everything else will come along as needed.

As much as I love what you did to the rear, I'm infatuated with the front ❤️❤️.

Congratulations Anton! The Cuda look killer!

Just wow. One handsome Poncho.

This is pretty much the nicest one of these I've seen. Good job!

Wow, I've never seen anything like this. SO cool. Looks like something from the brain of Syd Mead.

Wow, wasn't expecting that. I like it!

I love to see these things done vintage stock.

This is such a minor point, but I'd really like a "wow" emoji. I've been wishing for one since emojis were introduced to this forum. Thumbs up vs. heart, whatever, neither have the extra punch I'd like available. Typing "wow" or "amazing" to the thread that has two pages of "wows" for obviously impressive builds gets tedious to pool through when we can just hover over the icon to see who's with you. Meaningful comments will still be there.

Can’t go wrong with those exterior colors. A very handsome model.

Gorgeous model and killer pictures. 🤩

Spot flaws may be undesirable, but they're not deal breakers. I love the look of your car. I'm a sucker for deep dish steelies anyway and that hint of classic nascar really makes this car look tough.

Wow, what a dazzling purple. Is that a nail polish color? I don't think I've seen it before, at least not done with such radiance.

It makes me wonder if the guy in the video is doing it right. The headlight in my PT Cruiser is changed by popping open a door in the fender well. I was charged an hour labor once by a mechanic who tore half the front end apart to get at the bulb.

All your choices and contributions to the kit are quite exciting, color, wheels, custom details, etc. Beautiful.

If you're still on this project, or are bogged down by scratch building a '77 front end, it shouldn't be too difficult if you use photo etch railing from railroad or ship for the grill. Shop carefully or seek advice from railroaders about what size you need. I was able to shop a perfectly scaled grill PE from a well stocked hobby shop where I could visualize the size/shape I needed for a project.

They will always die in 3's if you only choose to see 3. George Wendt, Ruth Buzzi, David Lynch, Roberta Flack, Loretta Swit, Joe Don Baker, Rick Derringer, Val Kilmer, all died in May.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. He was a pillar of this hobby and a friendly, sharing person. Would love to see a thorough retrospective in this forum's magazine. There would be a lot to cover.

An excellent comedy satire of television news was "LateLine" with Al Franken as a bumbling reporter for a late night network news show similar to Nightline. I was in television news at the time and I was tickled pink with all the newsroom insider humor. Very perceptive. 12 episodes aired on network TV.

Fortunately he left behind many instructional videos demonstrating not only correct techniques but his amazing craftsmanship. He was very articulate. An amazing life. RIP 😢

I've always wanted to take this Terminator and scale up the pieces to make a large, possibly life sized prop. But... well... umm... yeah. 😐
